When Meredith was here this past weekend teaching she showed us how to make Beaded Snowflakes to put on a Christmas Tree on a stocking. Yesterday I was writing a guide for a customer and thought she needed a Wreath for the door, so I pulled some beads from the store and came home last night to play. It was really very easy. Much easier than the Snowflake. I will play with that today if I get a chance.

Thanks Meredith for sharing so much knowledge.

Here are the directions!

I just reread the posting and I left something out....

After you have gone through bead 1 and 2 again and picked up the 3 beads then go back through bead #2 and that will put the 3 beads on top of bead #2.

One of the ladies that took the Enchancement clas last week has already completed here piece, except for the background. I am sure that will happen today.

As promised here are samples of Montenegrin turning and Montenegrin going into a diagonal. It can be confusing. I have a book in my library from a woman in by the name of Amy Mitten called "Autopsy of the Montenegrin Stitch". And it breaks it down beautifully.

I have ordered the book and hopefully will have it in the store soon. As soon as it arrives I will let you know.

November is starting off with a bang.

We are going to have 3 clubs next year. We will by busy, busy, busy.http://www.theneedleworks.com/catalog/index.phpe you will join in on the fun.

The first club, Birds in Bloom is starting in January and I talked about it last week. Here are 2 more pictures of the series. The last one is at the finisher and I will post as soon as it comes back.

The other series we are starting is called " Flyng Jewels". Six beautiful butterflies from Labors of Love. We have chosen 5 and will choose the 6th when they come out.

We anticiapte this club starting in April! We will keep you posted.

The last club I will share with you next week once we have named it!

It will be starting in June.

Magnets and Scissor Fobs seem to be all the rage these days.

Joey is working on some new ones for Christmas and I got some wonderful ones from Bead Soup recently.

Between Llano and Fredericksburg on Highway 16 there is a beautiful road called the Willow City Loop. It meanders through private ranches and it just amazing. The vistas and fields of wildflowers are amazing. Because of the rain and cold winter we had the Bluebonnets are particularly stunning. The white Poppies make the fields look they are covered in snow.
